Product details
Overview
The MAX6725KAYDD3-T from Maxim Integrated is a triple-voltage microprocessor supervisory circuit in an 8-pin SOT23 package, monitoring VCC1 (4.625V threshold), VCC2 (3.075V threshold), and an externally adjustable RSTIN input (626.5mV reference). It provides active-low open-drain RST and RST2 outputs, manual reset input, watchdog timer with 35s startup/1.12s normal timeout, and operates from -40°C to +85°C. It ensures reliable system reset in multivoltage embedded power management applications.
For engineers reviewing the MAX6725KAYDD3-T datasheet, MAX6725KAYDD3-T pinout, MAX6725KAYDD3-T application, or MAX6725KAYDD3-T equivalent, key selection criteria include dual independent reset outputs, factory-trimmed dual voltage thresholds, RSTIN-adjustable third-voltage monitoring down to 0.62V, guaranteed reset validity at VCC ≥ 0.8V, and SOT23-8 footprint compatibility with industrial-grade temperature operation.
Technical Context
The MAX6725KAYDD3-T implements a dual-threshold analog comparator architecture for VCC1 and VCC2, each with ±0.5% hysteresis and 20ppm/°C tempco, plus a high-impedance RSTIN input referenced to a 626.5mV internal bandgap. Its reset logic asserts RST/RST2 low when any monitored supply falls below its threshold or MR is pulled low, maintaining assertion for a fixed 210ms (min) timeout after recovery.
It integrates a dual-mode watchdog timer: a 35s (min) initial timeout after power-up/manual reset enables full system boot, followed by a 1.12s (min) normal timeout triggered by missing WDI edges. The device guarantees correct reset output state with VCC1 or VCC2 ≥ 0.8V and draws only 14µA typical supply current at 3.6V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC1 Threshold | 4.625V (factory-trimmed, ±125mV tolerance) - sets primary supply brownout detection point for 5V rails |
| VCC2 Threshold | 3.075V (factory-trimmed, ±75mV tolerance) - sets secondary supply brownout detection for 3.3V rails |
| RSTIN Reference | 626.5mV (±15.5mV) - enables external resistor-divider to monitor third supply as low as 0.62V |
| Reset Timeout | 210ms (min) - ensures µP reset pulse meets minimum hold time requirements across temperature |
| Watchdog Timeout | 1.12s (min) normal mode - detects software hangs without requiring frequent I/O toggling |
| Supply Current | 14µA (typ at 3.6V) - minimizes quiescent power in battery-backed or always-on systems |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C - supports industrial and telecom equipment deployment without derating |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-pin SOT23-8, surface-mount, lead-free compatible (-T suffix), 1.6mm × 2.9mm footprint, 1.1mm height.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | RST | Active-low open-drain reset output referenced to VCC1; requires external pullup for logic-high level |
| 2 | GND | System ground reference for all internal comparators and logic |
| 3 | MR | Active-low manual reset input with 50kΩ internal pullup to VCC1; debounced by 100ns glitch rejection |
| 4 | RST2 | Active-low open-drain reset output referenced to VCC2; independent timing but same assertion logic as RST |
| 5 | VCC2 | Secondary supply input (0.9V–3.3V range); powers internal VCC2 comparator and RST2 driver |
| 6 | VCC1 | Primary supply input (1.8V–5.0V range); powers core logic, VCC1 comparator, and RST driver |
| 7 | RSTIN/PFI | Shared pin: selectable as adjustable reset monitor (RSTIN) or power-fail input (PFI); 626.5mV internal reference |
| 8 | WDI | Watchdog input; rising/falling edge clears 1.12s timeout; long idle (>35s) triggers initial watchdog mode |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent reset outputs | RST (VCC1-referenced) and RST2 (VCC2-referenced) enable separate reset control for I/O and core domains |
| Externally adjustable third-voltage monitor | RSTIN pin with 626.5mV reference allows precise monitoring of auxiliary rails (e.g., 1.2V, 1.8V) via resistor divider |
| Dual-mode watchdog timer | 35s startup timeout prevents false resets during boot; 1.12s normal timeout ensures rapid hang detection post-initialization |
| Guaranteed reset validity at low VCC | Operates correctly with VCC1 or VCC2 ≥ 0.8V - critical for brownout recovery in unregulated supplies |
| Immunity to short VCC transients | Withstands ≤20µs negative glitches at 100mV overdrive - eliminates spurious resets from switching noise |
Applications
| Server Power Sequencing | Industrial PLC Controller |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Coordinating power-up sequence of CPU, memory, and I/O rails in 1U rack servers with multiple DC-DC converters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Monitors 5V (VCC1), 3.3V (VCC2), and 1.2V core (via RSTIN) to assert synchronized reset until all rails stabilize.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar microprocessor supervisory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX6726KAyDD3-T | Push-pull RST output (vs. open-drain on MAX6725); identical thresholds, timeout, and pinout | Eliminates need for external pullup resistor on RST; unsuitable for bidirectional µP reset pins without series resistor | Select MAX6726KAyDD3-T when driving CMOS inputs directly or when board space prohibits pullup placement |
| TPS3808G33DBVR | Single-supply monitor (3.3V only); no RST2, no RSTIN, no watchdog; 200ms timeout; SOT23-6 package | Lacks triple-monitoring, independent reset outputs, and watchdog - suitable only for simple single-rail systems | Choose TPS3808G33DBVR only for cost-sensitive, space-constrained designs with no requirement for auxiliary voltage monitoring or watchdog functionality |
Compared with MAX6725KAYDD3-T, MAX6726KAyDD3-T offers push-pull RST for direct drive but sacrifices open-drain flexibility, while TPS3808G33DBVR reduces feature set and package size at the cost of losing triple-voltage supervision, dual reset outputs, and watchdog capability - making it a functional subset rather than a drop-in replacement.

FAQ
What voltage thresholds does the MAX6725KAYDD3-T monitor?
The MAX6725KAYDD3-T monitors VCC1 at 4.625V (±125mV), VCC2 at 3.075V (±75mV), and supports an externally adjustable third voltage via the RSTIN pin using a 626.5mV internal reference. These factory-trimmed thresholds are confirmed in the Reset Voltage Threshold Suffix Guide and Electrical Characteristics table of the official datasheet. The MAX6725KAYDD3-T does not support user-programmable thresholds - all values are fixed at manufacture.
Does the MAX6725KAYDD3-T provide both active-low and active-high reset outputs?
No, the MAX6725KAYDD3-T provides two active-low open-drain reset outputs: RST (referenced to VCC1) and RST2 (referenced to VCC2). It does not include an active-high reset output. The device's Selector Guide explicitly lists MAX6725 as having "1" open-drain RST and "1" open-drain RST2, with no push-pull or active-high variants in this specific part number. For active-high functionality, consider MAX6726KAyDD3-T.
How is the 210ms reset timeout period implemented in the MAX6725KAYDD3-T?
The MAX6725KAYDD3-T implements a fixed 210ms (minimum) reset timeout using an internal RC oscillator calibrated during production - no external components are required. This timeout begins when all monitored supplies (VCC1, VCC2, RSTIN) rise above their respective thresholds, MR returns high, or watchdog activity resumes. The value is specified in the Reset Timeout Period Suffix Guide as "D3" and verified across -40°C to +85°C in the Electrical Characteristics table.
Can the MAX6725KAYDD3-T monitor a negative supply voltage?
Yes, the MAX6725KAYDD3-T can monitor a negative supply using the RSTIN/PFI pin with an external resistor network as shown in Figure 3b of the datasheet. When configured as PFI, the comparator's noninverting input detects when the divided negative rail falls below 626.5mV, causing PFO to go high. Accuracy depends on resistor tolerance, PFI input current (±25nA), and VCC stability. The MAX6725KAYDD3-T itself must be powered by positive VCC1/VCC2 supplies.
What is the function of the WDI pin on the MAX6725KAYDD3-T?
The WDI (Watchdog Input) pin on the MAX6725KAYDD3-T monitors microprocessor activity: a rising or falling edge clears the 1.12s (min) normal watchdog timeout, while absence of edges for >35s triggers the long-startup mode. After any reset event, the watchdog enters 35s startup mode, then transitions to 1.12s normal mode upon first valid WDI transition. This dual-mode behavior prevents false timeouts during boot while ensuring rapid hang detection during steady-state operation - a core feature of the MAX6725KAYDD3-T.
